When designing a modern bathroom or kitchen, selecting the right faucet is as important as choosing the sink itself. Among the various configurations available, the single basin faucet has become one of the most popular choices for both residential and commercial projects. But what exactly does “single basin faucet” mean — and why is it so widely used?
At Global Emysa, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality faucets and shower systems, combining elegant design with reliable performance. Below, we explain what a single basin faucet is, how it works, and why it fits perfectly into today’s functional spaces.
A single basin faucet refers to a faucet designed for use with one sink bowl or basin rather than a double or divided sink. It typically features one spout and one control mechanism, supplying both hot and cold water through a single outlet.
In bathrooms, single basin faucets are commonly used for vanity sinks, while in kitchens, they pair with compact or undermount single-bowl sinks for space efficiency and minimalist appeal.
Most single basin faucets are engineered with a single-handle mixer mechanism, allowing users to control temperature and water flow from one lever. Internally, this is achieved using either:
Ceramic disc cartridges for precise temperature balance and leak-free performance.
Pressure-balanced valves, which automatically adjust to maintain consistent temperature under changing water pressure.
At Global Emysa, we use brass or stainless-steel faucet bodies with high-grade ceramic cartridges, ensuring durability and smooth operation even in high-use environments.
Single basin faucets are suitable for:
Bathroom vanities — offering compact form and easy control for everyday use.
Kitchen prep sinks — ideal for small apartments or island counters.
Commercial washrooms — where simplicity and hygiene are top priorities.
Their all-in-one design makes installation faster, requiring only one hole in the countertop or sink surface.
With one spout and a single control, these faucets occupy minimal counter area, leaving more usable space for accessories or cleaning.
Since only one hole is needed, setup is quick and suitable for both DIY and professional plumbing.
Single basin faucets feature sleek silhouettes and clean lines, complementing minimalist and contemporary interiors.
Integrated mixing valves provide instant adjustment between hot and cold water, ensuring comfortable operation.
Models crafted from solid brass or stainless steel resist corrosion and water spots. The single-handle design also reduces the number of joints, lowering leak risk and simplifying maintenance.
